USU Writing Center

For additional resources and online appointments after 5:00 pm, you may visit the Utah State University Writing Center based out of Logan.

Writer Center Mission

At the USU Eastern Writing Center, our main goal is to help students become independent writers. We support all types of writing assignments in all academic disciplines.

We strive to:

• Teach students to implement writing concepts discussed in class;
• Create a safe environment for students to find answers to their writing questions;
• Cultivate the skills students need to produce effective writing; and
• Increase students' confidence in their writing.

What to Expect

• Make an appointment at least 48 hours in advance. You will receive a confirmation email with your appointment information and additional instructions.
• Email your paper to your tutor at least 24 hours before your appointment. To contact your tutor, reply directly to your confirmation email. If you do not have a paper to work on, that's okay. Email the tutor to let them know you'd like to brainstorm during your appointment.
• During your session, access your tutor's chat room by clicking on the link found in both your confirmation and reminder emails. Log in with your A# and USU password.
• You will have 25 minutes to work with your tutor.
• After the appointment, your tutor will email an overview of the session to you and your teacher, confirming your visit with the writing center.

Drop-by Tutoring

As you generate ideas, draft and revise your papers, we can provide critical yet supportive feedback. We can also help you be a more effective writer. Emphasis is placed not only on the mechanics of writing, but also on the content and structure.

• Appointments are not necessary. You can drop by any of our locations when it is convenient for you.
• Come with a digital or hard copy of your paper, the assignment description , and any questions or concerns you have about your paper. You may also come without a paper if you are in the beginning stages of writing.
• The tutor is sitting at the front desk. Let them know you are there to get some help with a writing assignment. Don't forget to sign in!
• Expect your tutor to read your essay out loud (if you have a draft of your essay with you). Plan to be involved in your tutoring session by asking and answering questions, clarifying ideas, and turning off your phone.
• Plan on about 30 minutes to work with your tutor. You might be able to have a longer session if no one is waiting for tutoring.

Apply to honors as a first-year student.

The University Honors Program values diversity and seeks students who bring a wide variety of perspectives, experiences, and skills to our incoming class. We want to know  both  that you are  curious and passionate about your own interests  and that you want to  engage with students and faculty from different disciplines in the Honors Program . Please see below for first-year student application requirements. (NOTE: Current USU or transfer students with at least one semester's college grades complete a  different application ) Interested and qualified students must apply for admission to the University Honors Program. All applications must include: (1) a completed basic information form, (2) a brief activity resume  formatted as indicated , (3) an unofficial high school transcript, and (4) two brief essays that respond specifically to the prompts below.  STUDENTS MUST   UPLOAD   ALL MATERIALS EXCEPT THE BASIC INFORMATION FORM (upload box below, right side ).

How to Create an Extraordinary Honors Application

For advice on your Honors application, please review our  Honors first-year application advice sheet

Basic Information and Reference

Complete the basic information form at the bottom of this page (left side)

Extracurricular Resume

Upload (below) a brief (1–2 page) extracurricular resume. 

A strong resume demonstrates your potential as a curious, engaged Honors student at USU. Please list relevant extracurricular, volunteer, and work experience completed during high school, including a brief description of each activity and the school years (9, 10, 11, 12) of participation. While work experience is not usually evidence of extracurricular engagement, it can indicate time constraints that limited what a student could do outside of coursework in high school, as well as grit and resilience. We are sensitive to those constraints and value those qualities in students.

Upload (below) an unofficial high school transcript.

The University Honors Program is looking for students who have challenged themselves academically, given the resources available to them. Some transcripts speak for themselves; if yours does not,  please feel free to speak briefly on its behalf . The admissions committee will evaluate the rigor of your course schedule. If your high school does not offer advanced placement or concurrent enrollment courses (or offers few of them), please submit with your transcript a brief (200–250 word) paragraph that explains your school's offerings and your choices within those limits and/or any necessary explanation of grades.

Upload (below) two brief,  clearly labeled essays responding  separately to the prompts below.

The USU Honors Program seeks a diverse group of curious, engaged students with the ability and desire to share ideas across disciplines. Our motto, from the poet Horace, is “ Sapere aude ” or “Dare to Know,” and we want to support students eager to take that dare. Please write and upload two brief essays that respond to the following prompts (label the two essays with the underlined titles below): 

Academic Curiosity   (250-300 words):   Describe thoughtfully and in detail one key moment during high school when you became truly passionate about a specific idea, assignment, or activity connected with a class. How and why did this particular moment capture your imagination, and how does this example illustrate your academic curiosity and desire to take our Dare to Know?  

Honors Interest   (250-300 words):   Take a look at descriptions of our upcoming   Honors Experience Seminars   and   Honors Book Labs . Choose one course or Book Lab that sounds particularly interesting to you, and write an essay describing what you imagine contributing to the interdisciplinary conversation if you had the opportunity to enroll. We are interested in curious students who bring diverse perspectives to our community and who are eager to expand their own and others’ perspectives through civil discourse and conversation. Use your discussion of one particular USU Honors Experience Seminar or Book Lab to show us more broadly what you personally would add to our Honors community.

Is buying essays online safe?

Shopping through online platforms is a highly controversial issue. Naturally, you cannot be completely sure when placing an order through an unfamiliar site, with which you have never cooperated. That is why we recommend that people contact trusted companies that have hundreds of positive reviews.

As for buying essays through sites, then you need to be as careful as possible and carefully check every detail. Read company reviews on third-party sources or ask a question on the forum. Check out the guarantees given by the specialists and discuss cooperation with the company manager. Do not transfer money to someone else's account until they send you a document with an essay for review.

Good online platforms provide certificates and some personal data so that the client can have the necessary information about the service manual. Service employees should immediately calculate the cost of the order for you and in the process of work are not entitled to add a percentage to this amount, if you do not make additional edits and preferences.

Write an essay from varied domains with us!

Can you write my essay fast.

Our company has been among the leaders for a long time, therefore, it modernizes its services every day. This applies to all points of cooperation, but we pay special attention to the speed of writing an essay.

Of course, our specialists who have extensive experience can write the text quickly without losing quality. The minimum lead time is three hours. During this time, the author will find the necessary information, competently divide the text into several parts so that it is easy to read and removes unnecessary things. We do not accept those customers who ask to do the work in half an hour or an hour just because we care about our reputation and clients, so we want your essay to be the best. Without the necessary preparation time, specialists will not be able to achieve an excellent result, and the user will remain dissatisfied. For the longest time, we write scientific papers that require exploratory research. This type of work takes up to fourteen days.

We will consider any offers from customers and advise the ideal option, with the help of which we will competently organize the work and get the final result even better than we expected.
